Our 2 newer ee's

NightWing

now I've had a couple folks say this one may be a girl... We r so confused..thse chicks are around 10weeks old..

but anyway, lets say I have no clue what color from which these chickens hatched...I see they have the green legs.
What are the traits in ee's that make them most desirable to breed...??

I have noticed that what Ive been told by more knowledgeable folk than I to hold true in my flock rearing...

blotchy coloring = boy even coloring = girl

You may notice how unevening Marty's coloring is. Im thinking boy so Marty with a "y"

This year I got some EE's chicks back in February. They are 7 months old now. Will they molt this fall or wait until next fall?

My four new supposed EE all have green legs- the larger black one laid a light tan egg today. How can i tell what color eggs the other three will lay?

 

[maryellen21]

My new four. I was told they are EE. It really doesn't matter if they aren't .

The one in the front is mine

The all black one laid a light tan egg today. She has really pretty pearly green/purple feathers when you see her up close.

They are all EE's except for the all black one that laid the egg. To me, she looks like a black jersey giant. I'm not to good on some breeds, but I know they have bluish colored legs like yours. I think it's not an EE, but there is a chance it could be and that it has the brown egg laying gene in it.

Thanks! But her legs are green lol.. They look more green in person.

So one of my 21 week old EEs looks like she has black legs and the other one looks really dark too only my rooster has noticeable green legs
